Artist's rendition to explain physics & quantum science.

Just ran across these collection of clips answering questions pertaining to science and all the great wonders of the popular yet most complicated subjects. Using sketches and clear narration, it manages to keep you interested and allows you to understand. Whereas traditional jargon tends make your eyes glaze over after a while if you're not already a physicist or math guru.

I will say, some of the explanations may be controversial here, like the one I'll embed below. Followed by some links to others I think are just as interesting. Enjoy.


Schrodinger's Cat
What is fire?
Dark engery feat
What is a Neutrino?
What is a dimension? 3D,2D,1D

And many more...

Haha made me laugh anyways

"Faster than the speed of pixels"....
Well maybe some people will learn a little bit. I do agree that Einstein has been taken out of context, by scientist trying to dumbdown his explanations for the lamen folk.

Silly lamens... tricks are for kids

I like the faster than light explanation. It's not breaking any laws of physics at all and is so simple. It makes perfect sense

They did the same thing to Jesus and Buddha.. dang!

Fun stuff!

Some of those are very neat.
cheers for the links.

It is fun stuff. Adding more I find thought provoking

The photons emmited from the laser pointer aren't moving faster than the speed of light across the moons surface. Each photon emmited moves at the same rate of speed.

Nothing amazing about an over-simplified explaination of a complex set of circumstances.

reply to post by Blarneystoner


They're not saying that. It's just a technicality in physics that can be used as a loop hole. Point A and B on the moon's surface is traversed 20X faster because of the distance between the earth and the moon. Flicking the wrist will cover distances quickly.

My understanding is the speed of light isn't even constant, but scientists don't really care to talk about that for some reason.

What is interesting about the arbitrary so called "laws" is that they establish boundaries that don't need to be there. The human mind tends to like to follow rules more then it likes to avoid a rule's entire existence, so when a handful of people say xxx, the human folks simply go along, as rules are good. The rules, even the things defined by the rules, are arbitrary, but they establish the force that scientist then focus on. So if light is the supreme speed, then scientist only look a ways to deal with that speed, rather then ignoring the entire idea to look beyond.

That video is about the speed of light and geometry and not quantum physics.
A Quantum Chart I always associated with Einstein.

from:
coraifeartaigh.wordpress.com...

discrete packets or quanta of energy, each quantum having an amount of energy given by E = hf ; here f is the frequency of the radiation and h is a fundamental constant of nature (extremely small) that became known as Planck’s constant.

I think Einstein made the chart or paper on the effect.
Also on wiki
en.wikipedia.org...
Einstein also made equations for quantum absorption.

tap.iop.org...

The bottom spectra with black line means the atom is absorbing that frequency.

I believe Einstein showed both phenomena long recognized and known in science
but only he came up with the accepted equations of the quantum process.

Then how about this one?
Quantum Tunneling

Or this one?
Fusion and Quantum Tunneling

My thread isn't about just one video

Exactly, nothing is moving faster than the seed of light, its an illusion.

edit on 23-8-2012 by FlySolo because: (no reason given)

Both those are the same link.

The video did not show the statistical physics that uses the Tesla discovery
of 500x speed of light particles to make those tunnels possible.

Its not magic, its the discoveries of Tesla that science is handing you with out the material.

reply to post by TeslaandLyne


You do see there is power available to go over the wall or tunnel the potential wall.
That is the fallacy of modern science in their effort to suppress Tesla discoveries.
Why would Tesla say there is energy available if it were not true.

So conservation of energy is only broken by the added energy they forgot to tell
us about on the atomic level. And on the big ship level Tesla said his ship went
300 miles per second. Why would he lie. The transistor model fails just like the
failure to produce the Tesla ship they own.
